-keyNOTdown(i)

[wonderboysp2p]

sorry for being retarded.. i havent been doing any scripting for awhile but oh well!
how would i go about detecting when keys 0-4 were'nt being pushed?


im bored and rescripting movement system and i couldnt think of what to do so he just keeps doing the walk ani unstil i press 'a' XP

[screen_name]

Well, there are a few ways to do it.

Probably the easiest way is to have a array for it, then run a loop and check the corrisponding key to see if it's pressed, if not, then set the variable to false or whoever you want to keep track of it.

[Thought]

NPC Code:

---

!keydown(#)

---

?

Why bother checking? var = keydown(index); works just fine

[Lance]

Rick's got the idea.

[wonderboysp2p]

else if (!keydown(0)) set ani idle,;


i had this but it screws up the walk ani X_X

Well hell, I didn't even think of that.

well.. that's because your condition is all messed up, and not having brackets doesn't help much either. I would write that same line of code as the following:

If you wanted it to be detected when keydown(0) then:
if (!keydown(0)) {
whatever;
}
else {
setani idle,;
}


If you wanted it to not be detected when keydown(0) then:
if (!keydown(0)) {
setani idle,;
}

And you'd want to make sure with the !keydown that you'd have a timeout or something... I'm not sure if it's the same with keydown considering the fact that I don't use keydown much.

lol yeah, i thought

"Arrays wtf only Rick makes sense"

[D1ce2]

Isnt there a quick key in here?
I forgot how it goes but it's like

NPC Code:

---

if(playerenters)

timeout=0.05;



if(timeout){

if(keypressed){

if(keydown(t),true){

bla;

}

}

timeout=0.05;

}

---

I forgot maybe it is wrong, o-well I tried.

If you don't want it detecting add a key (!)
like

NPC Code:

---

if(!bla && !bla2 && !bla3 && !bla4)){

//bla

}

---

Or as kai would do:

NPC Code:

---

if(!bla){ 

if(!bla2){

 if(!bla3){

 if(!bla4){

//bla stuff

}

}

}

}

---

As it's easier to read;P

[Loriel]

I thiiiink the original poster's enquire was about a function that would tell him whether any of the keys 0-3 was pressed, so he could unset his walking gani accordingly... so I suppose the most sensible thing to do is

NPC Code:

---

walking = false;

for (d = 0; d < 4; d ++) {

  if (keydown(d)) {

    do_walking_stuff();

    walking = true;

  }

}

tokenize idle walk;

setani #t(walking),;

Either way is fine, though I prefer yours.

Kai would choose the first, since the checks are related


oman, Loriel's script is crazygonuts, I never thought to use tokenize like that

Crazygonuts hehe, I don't think many people would even think to do what Loriel did, the thought has never crossed my mind for such a way.

[Riot]

If you bothered to look at the Snippets section of Graal.net (mainly the Elaborate onwall function Loriel posted) you'd already know to do it that way

[Thought]

I would have, if presented the challenge of scripting a walking system.

[Dach]

I've made 2 or 3 walking systems and hadn't even considered using tokenize, I usually get by with regular arrays. Come to think of it, I don't really remember how I handled setting the animation... ohwell, back to the point, Loriel has got some wack skills in scripting

I said many people you happen to be one of the few. :P

[adam]

Re-Scripting the player is a great exercise.

Difficult. But I don't think anybody expects it to be perfect.

[Kaimetsu]

I wish people wouldn't make such wild guesses about how I'd do something.

Check the sig, man. I'm only here because I'm in a debate about the new supermods, over in the main forum. I only commented here because I was mentioned.

*Cough* by me
Anyways, you should come back your highly missed. Eitherway i've got nothing else to say

I think they think you think it should be done like that because of the KI-SGI or stuff.

KSI-GS

I'm sure you're right, but they've misinterpreted the document. I wouldn't script it in any of the ways presented thus far.

[Kaimetsu]

I wasn't dissin' you, I just wanted to make sure people knew what we were talking about.

It's interesting to see that KSI-GS found its way into the Classic tab requirements. I would never have agreed with that decision, and I doubt that the GST are enforcing it (heck, one of the members breaks almost every rule in there).

[ZeLpH_MyStiK]

hehe another scripting thread gone awry

[ZeLpH_MyStiK]

NPC Code:

---

if (created) timeout=.05;

if (timeout) {

  if (keydown(#)) {

//    move stuff

  }elseif (keydown(#)) {

//    move stuff

  }elseif (keydown(#)) {

//    move stuff

  }elseif (keydown(#)) {

//    move stuff

  }else{

//    idle stuff

  }

  timeout=.05;

}

Use elseifs, they're useful

WRONG.

Think about it, what do you do to run diagonally? You press two arrow keys.

[Loriel]

Eh, Rick? Your keyboard lacks diagonal arrow keys?

[Python523]

Your keyboard has diagnol arrow keys?

[Thought]

He's probably referring to the number pad, eg keys 7, 9, 1 & 3.

[GoZelda]

Laptop...

Oh sure elseifs are useful but not in this case. Unless you use if (keydown(x)&&keydown(y)){}

Or assume mutual exclusivity on the opposing arrow keys.

[Kristi]

I might be a little late in asking this, but how exactly Loriel's tokenize convention more efficient?

it would seem to me that requesting a string to be searched through and broken down and then assigned to 2 seperate parts of an array wouldnt be as efficient at all.

if (walking == 0)
setani idle;
else
setani walk;

what is less efficient about the old way? It does one check.
even if you wanted to be crafty why not..

setstring blah,idle,walk;
setani #I(blah,walking);

although in terms of efficiency it seems equivilent to me. ::shrugs::
The tokenize idea is crazy and unique, but please explain why it is better.

[Loriel]

Certainly is not more efficient, but I deem it more readable or compact, especially with constructions like this

NPC Code:

---

  if (static == false && playerfreezetime <= 0) {

    setstring this.temp,"idle sit walk carry swim","carrystill carrysit carry carryrun","grab push pull","attack","hurt dead";

    tokenize #I(this.temp,this.mode);

    setani #t(this.submode),;

    setstring this.temp,;

  }
